We are looking to re-evaluate our Kindergarten discipline policy for next year. I am wondering if anyone would have a policy or strategies that you use with your Kindergarten students. We presently do the Turn a Card program. Thanks!

Blue-outstanding Purple- Great Job Green- Ready to Learn Yellow- Slow down (warning) Orange- Think about it (student completes reflection and note home to parents.) Red- Conduct report (office referral)

The students always get to start every day with their clip on green and they move up and down the chart throughout the day. When the students get on Blue they get to have a gold coin and go to the office for a prize. At the end of each day, students get "punches" on a punch card for what color they are on. Once they have 10 punches on their punch card they get a prize from me.

School wide, a child who is noticed by an adult as doing something good (helping another child, walking quietly, etc) is given a ticket. At the end of the marking period they "buy" prizes for the tickets. There are little trinkets and larger, teacher prizes (lunch with a teacher, dance party, play basketball in the gym, etc.). As a class, when another teacher notices the class doing something well such as walking quietly in the hall, they can give the class a paw sticker. At the end of the quarter, the class with the most paw stickers in each grade get a popcorn party.

There are lots of positive reinforcements given individually and to the classes so it's definitely not a punishment-based system.
